AUBURN, Ala. -- Don't know what your first paycheck was like 24 days after graduation, but Cameron Jerrell Newton cashed in Tuesday, with his Auburn diploma headed to his mom's home in College Park, Ga., by signing a $103 million contract with the Carolina Panthers.
It's good to be in a job market that pays so well, college degree or no, but such is the life of Newton, the quarterback who led Auburn to the 2010 national title, and who saw fit to return to school to graduate during the spring semester.
